Just built a new computer, and I after having a lot of fun messing around with my CPU, I found out that my Radeon HD 5770 is running at PCI-Express 2.0x8 instead of x16. This is confirmed by both the information in my Catalyst 10.1 drivers and in CPU-Z; the link width is only x8 and the max...

Too save money, I am looking to use my case, power supply, and hard drives from my current setup. My case and PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817341002 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811129017 Both have been excellent for me and should work for the parts I am...

Yeah I wanted to wait a few months and do what you're suggesting, go with a 1366 and get an i7, but the graphics card in my current setup just died so I'm in a catch22. I might be able to survive a month or so if the prices are going to drop, but its going to be tough. My current options are...

Trying to choose a motherboard for a budget i5 build (total cost less than $1000). Would like USB3.0 for the future, with that in mind was looking at the following boards: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813128412 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813128417...

With Windows XP and Windows XP x64, I was able to use the "CPL Mouse Fix" which to my understanding editing the registry file and took out mouse acceleration. I loved no acceleration and grew very accustomed to it not being there. I think Vista handles mouse acceleration in a different way...

Whenever I change the volume of Winamp, the volume of my Ventrilo (for example) also changes in proportion to the adjustment in Winamp. If no music is playing when I change the volume, nothing changes in Ventrilo, but the second I hit play the adjustment is immediately made to my Ventrilo. This...

The Razer DeathAdder on a Steelpad QcK+ is a wonderful combination.

Thanks for your help, I'll probably grab the 90GX2. I decided that the 1280x1024 max resolution wasn't a big deal :)

I have been "CRT for life" in the past, because LCD monitors could never give me what I needed for gaming. Recently, friends of mine have bought LCDs that have impressed me to some degree, and I get tired of carrying around my gigantic CRT when I need to. I need an LCD that allows me to game and...

I connected to the router through my explorer and cloned the Mac address earlier, but to no avail. I will try it again, however. Edit: Same bad news :(

I get back home from college, and my father informs me that he lost internet a week ago. He "fixed" the problem by taking the router out of the equation and connecting right to the cable modem. Problem solved. Unfortunately, it's not as simple as "the router is broken." I tried a different...

I received the auto-notice, but I checked my email 2 hours too late and they were sold out when I checked the site :(

Some new ideas: Case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811196019 Video Card: http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16814150139 RAM: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820227078 (Unless I need DDR2 800, still not sure) RAM...

yeah, i really don't have a choice, i have to spend less on the video card :|

Would downgrading my video card to this be beneficial? Asus 256mb 7900GT http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16814150139 I typically run my desktop at some resolution at or below 1600x1200 and I have gotten used to low resolution gaming (>1024x768) I could always buy...
